“They reflect the diversity and agility of the emirate’s economy, as well as the Chamber’s commitment to fulfilling the wise leadership’s vision to consolidate Dubai’s position as a global capital of finance and business.
“We now have a total of 105 business groups, with further additions already planned and nearing launch. Having initially targeted growth to 100 business groups, we wanted to make sure we captured every single part of Dubai’s dynamic economy.
“In doing so, and because of the breadth of Dubai’s economy, we have exceeded the number we previously planned for.”

They are a key component in addressing policy matters, enhancing the competitiveness of their respective sectors and ultimately boosting their contribution to the emirate’s economy.
